Quotation:
When Emma met Hardy: "Miss Gifford greeted Hardy with the respect accorded to a professional visitor. She knew he came on architectural business, and he spoke as an educated man with just a touch of the soft West Country in his voice; and at first sight he seemed quite old, with his beard and well-worn greatcoat."
Notes:
It is interesting that the class distinction is apparent here from a clothes perspective and that they both felt it.
